Human Robot Collaboration LAB

Exoskeleton Robot Research

Exoskeleton Control & Soft Exoskeleton

We study how to design and control exoskeletons that are both adaptive and lightweight. On the control side, we develop gait indices and ergonomic frameworks to adjust assistance across terrains while ensuring user safety. On the hardware side, we explore soft exosuit mechanisms, variable stiffness actuators, and hybrid gear systems to provide smooth torque transfer and improve energy efficiency. Together, these efforts aim to create wearable robots that combine flexibility, safety, and efficiency for effective human–robot collaboration.
